Why galaxies are considered the major features of the universe?

The major feature of the Universe is still unknown. Remember that there are black holes too, which can be more massive than some galaxies. A reasonable knowledge of the Universe shall come gradually, when more poweful space telescopes shall be developed, improved.


What are the different tools used to study the universe?

The different tools are satellites, probes, telescopes. and spacecrafts.


Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?

No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.


Who looks through telescopes at the stars?

Astronomers typically look through telescopes at the stars to study celestial objects such as planets, stars, galaxies, and other phenomena in the universe. They use telescopes to gather data and make observations that help expand our knowledge of the cosmos.


What will the next generation of telescopes be?

The Universe is in a funk


Methods that are used to explore the universe?

The universe can be explored by astronomical instruments called telescopes, and by space probes sent from earth to other planets. When using telescopes astronomers try to look at the energy being produced by the universe not just in the visible part of the spectrum (where our eyes can see) but at the whole range of electromagnetic radiation. We thus have radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, X-ray telescopes and even some telescopes that are buried deep underground looking for neutrinos. Most of the telescopes are set in mountains for they can rich more.


How are scientist able to identify the different types of galaxies?

The scientists are able to identify the different types of galaxies by high powered telescopes and by examining the pictures sent by various satellites orbiting the universe.


What type of telescopes use the visible spectrum to see the universe?

An optical telescope.


Difference of science to the technology?

Science is a way of thinking about the world. Technology is the tools that science creates. For example Astronomy is a science and looks at how the universe works. Astronomers developed telescopes as a technology to help them achieve their aims.

How can a nebula be observed from earth?

Nebulae can be observed from Earth using telescopes. Their gas and dust particles reflect and emit light, making them visible to astronomers. Different types of telescopes, such as optical, radio, and infrared telescopes, can be used to study various aspects of nebulae.


What cultures believed the earth was the centre of the universe?

Most western European cultures believed that until Galileo showed them different through astronomy and the invention of functional telescopes.
